Background
On 7 October 2023, Hamas and multiple other Palestinian groups attacked Israel.[4]
The Gaza war occurred over the next two years. During the course this conflict, 67,000 Palestinians and 2,000 Israelis are estimated to have died.[5][6] Allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity were raised against Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Deif, and Ismael Haniyeh as well as Israeli leaders Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant by the International Criminal Court.[7]
On 10 October 2025, the Gaza peace plan came into effect.[8] This peace plan envisioned 3 phases. The first of which contained the Yellow Line. As part of the plan, the Israel Defense Force withdrew to this line until a second phase was to be agreed between Israel and Hamas.[9]

Current status
As of 28 October 2025, the Yellow Line separates the Gaza strip into two sections.[10] Palestinians are not allowed to cross into area east of the line.[2] Yellow concrete blocks have been installed to demarcate it. Some Gazans have expressed concerns that this Yellow Line may become a new border.[11]
